Watch: 102-year-old former RAF pilot takes to skies in iconic Spitfire | Lifestyle [Video]

A 102-year-old former RAF pilot who took to the sky in a Spitfire described the experience of being back behind the controls as absolutely delightful. Jack Hemmings, a former RAF squadron leader, is believed to be the oldest pilot to fly the Second World War aircraft in a bid to raise money for a charity he co-founded nearly 80 years ago. After the journey, the grandfather-of-three described the experience as very bumpy. To be honest [it was] slightly heavier than I expected but we were flying about 210 knots faster than I normally used to fly at in my air force days, Mr Hemmings added.

Florida: Rehabilitated pelicans released into wild at beach clean-up | Lifestyle [Video]

Watch the touching moment police released six rehabilitated pelicans at a beach clean-up in Hollywood, Florida. Officers from the Hollywood Police Department released the birds back into the wild during a clean-up initiative on 24 January. This event showcases the departments effort not only for law enforcement but also for environmental conservation, one onlooker said. In the footage, crowds cheer as the pelicans step out of their cages, before quickly taking flight and disappearing off into the distance, gliding over the ocean.
